She relays reports of people experiencing non-consensual choking, notes that choking is dangerous when done improperly, and observes that media/entertainment often shows exaggerated choking without teaching safer, specific technique.

So I hear from so many people who say, you know, I had sex with somebody for the first time and they went to choke me and I was not comfortable with that. I never consented to that. Like why do people seem to think everybody's into choking these days? Like it's just the perfect example where we think okay this is a normal to be expected thing. We don't want to talk about it, we don't want to ask about it, we just go ahead and do it. And that can lead to really uncomfortable situations for a lot of people. Like with the example of choking that actually is a pretty extreme thing that is extremely dangerous when not done properly. There actually is proper choking technique that you need to use if you want to incorporate choking into your sex life. But again it's like not teaching us that exact specific technique. It's just showing it to us in this really over the top meant to be entertaining way.
